U.S. Embassy in Mozambique recruits business delegations for Trade Shows in the United States
The legendary Stewart Sukuma is going live again @ CCBM – Free Entrance!
Luis Pereira, musically known as Stewart Sukuma, is a Mozambican singer. His stage name Stewart Sukuma means ‘Rise Up’ in Zulu and ‘Push’ in Swahili. He was born in Cuamba, Niassa Province in Mozambique.
Stewart Sukuma combines traditional and contemporary Mozambican music with revolutionary instrumentation to create an energetic and danceable sound that can be called Afro / Pop / Jazz. Contagious rhythms mixed with sweet but powerful melodies carry a message of hope but at the same time it would revolutionise new times in Africa and the world, challenging the laziest foot for a dance and the laziest head for a reflection of the role that music plays in communication with the masses.
Sukuma won his first guitar at a charity event when he was a young boy. In 1997, five years after the end of the country’s civil war, he recorded his first album, Afrikiti, which opened space for many other Mozambican artists to do the same. Since then, the musician has toured Europe, Africa, the United States and the Caribbean, performing at major festivals such as Beat Apartheid! Houston International Festival, alongside legends such as Miriam Makeba, Hugh Masekela, Abdullah Ibrahim, Gilberto Gil, Jimmy Dludlu, Mike Del Ferro and others.
